Our customer is asking us to customise the CiviCase view (ie. this URL)

civicrm/contact/view/case?reset=1&id=100&cid=3&action=view&context=case&selectedChild=case&key=cb124e57a70e30564c893f5d2e05362d_2632

such that the default sort order is by date with no regards to status.

I can't see any moderately easy way to do this - can anyone suggest one? Maybe the buildform hook but it seems like I'd just have to a php re-order & it might not be valid if there are more rows on the case than on the activity

CRM_Case_BAO_Case::getCaseActivity()

Can you inject some jquery via buildform to target the table widget and do the equivalent of clicking on the date column to sort by date?

I'm surprised you think customising the tpl is a better option than Dave's suggestion. In my experience nursing customised tpls through upgrades is very labour intensive & I view it as a last resort.

I think Hershel advocated Dave's method in his Jquery blog

Here's an example of a function I have adding js under buildform.  Hershel's blog offers a lot more on this (including what is wrong with the below :-) http://civicrm.org/blogs/hershel/how-customize-civicrm-pages-jquery)

function civimprc_civicrm_buildForm( $formname, $form ){

   $jqueryinsert = "
      cj(document).ready( function() {
      cj('#custom_57_$instance').blur(function(){
        if(cj('#amount').attr('value') > 0){
           var newValue = cj('#custom_57_$instance').attr('value') *.05 / cj('#amount').attr('value') * 100;
           cj('#custom_207_$instance').val(newValue);
         }
      });
";
   drupal_add_js( $jqueryinsert , 'inline');
